Dentro da toca [manuscrito]: o processo de criação artística de Georgino Júnior

Abstract

In the backlands of northern Minas Gerais, a son born according to records in the Minas Gerais triangle arrived here and settled in Montes-Clarense. From an early age, he developed the artistic vein, starting with drawing, writing, and then painting. Living in seclusion for years, he produced books, paintings, chronicles and a vast amount of material yet to be published. This first study of his artistic work, carried out under the bias of process criticism, aims to present to the academic community and other lovers of his work a brief research in this perspective. The line of approach is part of the Tradition and Modernity perspective. The research, documentary and descriptive, highlights the creation process, especially of his first award-winning work in 1974 and the artist's trajectory, considering this work as the starting point and incentive for future research and the construction of new perspectives on his production. The methodology adopted involved, in addition to research on the creation process from the perspective of Cecília Almeida Salles (2006, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2016), studies of writing processes, memory and culture; the collection of personal and professional data about the researched, a study of the production process of his first book, a novel in portunhol and a brief analysis of his production in newspapers and some poems and illustrations from the book Duelo ao sunset (mature poems). It was concluded that the proposed research objective on the artist's creation process and the initial vision of his production were achieved, and due to the multiplicity of artistic aspects produced by him, more specific and in-depth studies are necessary.
